    What book by a female author or poet or playwright would you preserve for humanity, so I can make some suggestions for them?

        @G33kGrrly @avantgame Every time I see a zombie show, I wonder why they don't hit the library for reference material on how to rebuild.

        @avantgame but I never thought about authors gender before. Hildegard von Bingen was a German medieval writer for human right, medicine, etc

        @avantgame In a post-apocalyptic world, those books (and others) would be the greatest resource we could possibly have.
